united actually needs to put out a statement

VAR is a farce

SO FUCKING STUPID. Tried to make himself big, fuck off

Don’t like that call

Never intentional, never a red

Guy just puts his foot where Rashfords is going

Unfortunate as he's shielding the ball and not really looking at where the player is, but probably a red by the laws of the game

Not intentional but looks awful, hard to argue. Could have caused serious injury.

nah that's a yellow imo, tried to shield the ball, no intention and unlucky af

It was accidental but it was high. Unfortunately intent doesn’t matter and it’s gotta be a red

If Romero was a Red, this is a red.

Classic united

I'm actually worked up about this and I don't like united. Var has properly fucked football

Ouch

VAR vs Man Utd needs to be investigated

Yeah that’s a red, Rashford did not need to stretch out that far there

I think it’s a red but unlucky which happens. There was no intent to hurt him but rashford’s studs caught him above the ankle so there’s not too much to argue about

Another case of VAR interjecting to try and make a game more competitive.

This is the worst call I’ve ever seen in my life

Fuck off

This is just plain VAR re-refereeing.

All he's trying to do is shield the ball.

Definitely not his intention, but still 100% deserved red card.

This is just a dumb red imo. The only leg you have to stand on is that he steps on the guys ankle but there’s literally nothing in this. He is simply taking a step to shield the ball and the other play sticks his foot out right where he’s stepping. Is Rashford supposed to drag his feet along the floor to get where he’s trying to go? This is normal shit that happens in the game. Stop punishing players for freak occurrences and focus on what cards are for, dangerous plays. Nothing about this was dangerous, just unfortunate timing by both players.

This is one of those letter of the law pitfalls. Clearly not intentional but could be dangerous none the less. Sometime when two players are going for a ball one will be late and deliver an unintentional stamp.

According to the rulebook this is a clear red.

You can't blame the ref or var for this, they followed the rules correctly.

If you don't think it's a red, then you just don't like the rules of the sport.

I cousin called complaining saying his team got a farcical red card. Watching this, how does he even complain, Rashford just no awareness where feets and ankles are

That is a fucking joke of a red card

not sure why this is controversial. any studs up challenge is an automatic red. reminds me of that Ibrahimovic Red vs i think Manu U when he was on PSG in a RO16 game.

im sure there are loads of others like this given a red. intent doesn't matter, just the outcome, which is always an injured player.

If the letter of the law says this is a red, the letter of the law should be changed.

Well deserved

Wtf happened lol

Refs got zero ball knowledge.

it’s unlucky but has to be a red i think

Did not expect that

What an absolute joke. Can't go a single game without the refs cheating. Joke pens every game so far and now this.

Nah I'm done with football

Just looks like he's trying to shield that

Absolutely braindead officiating. He steps over and the guy puts his foot there. No fucking footballing awareness.

Rather unlucky, but yeah that’s a red.

How the fuck do these refs continue to have jobs/these games, its actually fucking mind-boggling. Unreal - hopefully can appeal.

Well that's just unfortunate for both.

Not in a million years.

I know the contacts ended up being bad but there’s no intent and it wasn’t reckless or anything. Feels harsh

Can incidental contact like this be a red card?

This is just ridiculous

But Romero can play basketball against us and it isn't hand ball, embarrassing.

The ref only saw videos in slow motion ffs. This happens 3 times a games almost

There’s our weekly horrendous decision… his ankle is already planted, it’s not high. How?

I'm nor sure about this one, too much reffing consequences and not actions. Rashy is protecting the ball, doesn't have any sight of the man moving into where he makes contact.

Ultimately that's a nasty piece of contact, but the degree of contact shouldn't really be so much of a decider.

bruh
